More PyCon 2010 Conference Grants

At their May 10 meeting, the PSF Board approved grants for two PyCon
conferences.

PyCon Ukraine

PyCamp Kyiv, held in January 2010,
attracted over 200 attendees so the organizers are planning to host
another event this fall. PyCon Ukraine 2010
is scheduled for October 23-24 in Kyiv, Ukraine. The PSF Board
approved a grant of $750US to support the new conference.

SciPy 2010

SciPy 2010 will be held in
Austin, Texas from June 28 to July 3. SciPy is focused on the
intersection of scientific computing and Python development, and
offers scientists and developers an opportunity to collaborate and
share tools and techniques. The PSF Board approved a grant of
$1,000US to sponsor the conference.

Organizers for other conferences who would like to apply for a grant
should send details of their request to the board at psf@python.org.

The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers.
